Anton Forsberg News

Forsberg has battled adversity in limited action this season but, unfortunately for the Senators, has been more consistent than Linus Ullmark between the pipes. Despite a 2-3-0 record in his last five, Forsberg has been reliable in net, allowing three or fewer goals four times, and posting a solid .925 SV%. The Senators enter the action on Monday as -156 home favorites against a Calgary Flames squad riding a four-game winning streak.

The Senators, fresh off a disappointing 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, will switch to Forsberg between the pipes on Thursday against the New York Islanders. The 31-year-old Forsberg has a solid 2.65 GAA and .910 SV% in six games (3-2-0), stats greatly skewed by two impressive shutouts in his last three games. The Senators enter the action on Thursday as -137 home favorites against an Islanders club averaging only 2.46 goals per game, bottom-five in the NHL.

The Senators, fresh off a disappointing 5-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, will likely switch to Forsberg between the pipes on Thursday against the New York Islanders. The 31-year-old Forsberg has a solid 2.65 GAA and .910 SV% in six games (3-2-0), stats greatly skewed by two impressive shutouts in his last three games. The Senators enter the action on Thursday as -137 home favorites against an Islanders club averaging only 2.46 goals per game, bottom-five in the NHL.

Linus Ullmark (strain) was seemingly targeting a return to action on Tuesday but will be out of the lineup for at least one more game, giving Forsberg his fourth straight start. Forsberg has allowed three or more goals in each of his three outings but recorded his first victory of the season on Saturday despite allowing four goals on 29 shots (.862 SV%) in a 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Senators enter action on Tuesday as slight -100 road underdogs against the Utah Hockey Club.

Linus Ullmark (strain) was at practice and appears to be nearing a return but will be sidelined for at least one more contest, allowing Forbserg to start for the second straight game. Forsberg struggled in his first game, allowing three goals on nine shots (.667 SV%) before being pulled in an exhilarating contest that the Senators were eventually victorious in, defeating the Los Angeles Kings 8-7 in overtime. The Senators enter action on Thursday as +119 home underdogs against an offensively potent New Jersey Devils club.

With Linus Ullmark sidelined, the Senators will turn to Forsberg in the crease for his first start of the season. The 31-year-old Forsberg has battled injuries the last two seasons, limiting him to only 58 total appearances (26-23-2), and has been inconsistent when called upon in that stretch, posting a pedestrian 3.24 GAA and .896 SV%. The Senators enter action on Monday with even -105 odds at home versus the Los Angeles Kings.

Forsberg will start game 82 vs. Boston after backing up for the previous two Senators games. The 31-year-old has had a season to forget in his fourth year in Ottawa, with his 14-12-0 record, and ugly .886 SV% and 3.30 GAA. He will look to end the season on a high note on Tuesday vs. Boston, who has won six of their last eight games and are securely in the playoffs.

The Senators were shut out 2-0 with Jonas Korpisalo between the pipes on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers and will switch to Forsberg in the crease on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Forsberg has struggled lately, allowing five goals on 23 shots (.783 SV%) across his last two outings (0-2-0). The Senators enter action as +144 road underdogs.

The Senators are riding a three-game winning streak, including a commanding 6-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres last night courtesy of Joonas Korpisalo, but will switch to Forsberg to tend the twine on the tail end of their back-to-back. Forsberg has struggled lately, losing two straight, allowing 11 goals on 64 combined shots (.828 SV%). That said, the Senators enter action as -174 home favourites against the Chicago Blackhawks.

After a 6-2 loss to the Boston Bruins with Joonas Korpisalo between the pipes on Tuesday, the Senators will turn to Forsberg on Thursday against the St. Louis Blues. Forsberg didn't fare any better in his last outing, allowing seven goals on 38 shots (.816 SV%) in a 7-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Senators, outscored 13-4 in their last two games (0-2-0), enter action as -126 home favourites against the Blues.
